... Dust Mountains in the Carina Nebula . ... JHU ) Explanation: Bright young stars sometimes sculpt picturesque dust mountains soon after being born. Created quite by accident, the energetic light and winds from these massive newborn stars burn away accumulations of dark dust and cool gas in a slow but persistent manner. Such is the case in NGC 3324 , a star forming region near the edge of NGC 3372 , the energetic and expansive Carina Nebula. ... NGC 3372: The Great Nebula in Carina . ...
